The incompetence of the people of the Island of Brittany before the twelfth century

The towns of the old world were filled with peasants, merchants, soldiers, and tax collectors. These people understood the value of trade, commerce, local, national, and international enterprise. European leaders of the church and state sought to create dominance over the other European, Middle Eastern, and North African territories for centuries. The Holy Roman Empire was established and completed in the year 801 A.D. This time period in history marked the end of the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages was an era in history when Europe was completely dominated and controlled by Arab rulers and by Arab tribes. The Dark Ages took place between the years of 457 A.D. and throughout the year of 800 A.D. The Roman Empire fell in the year of 457 A.D. due to the many Ottoman Conquests west of the Anatolian territories of Southwestern Europe. Vienna almost lost a large battle between the Ottomans and the armies of Eastern Europe much later in history, during the early sixteenth century, but the European powers defended their land and did not lose control of their land. The Dark Ages defined a period in history of long standing suppression of the European people the the Arab people. European tribes were under constant oppression and subjected to violent military attacks by the orders of the Arab Kings. This was not an era in history that was enjoyable or comfortable for any European person. Total power of the known world to Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa was in the hands of the Kings and Princes of the region of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait. Persia dominated the world with simplicity and ease due to the higher levels of military technology and enormous armies compared to the small and unorganized armies of Europe. By the end of the eighth century the Catholic church organized the people of Europe on a massive scale with hopes to conquer their Arab masters who had taken advantage of them since the middle of the fifth century. Before the twelfth century the British Isles were not subjected to Macedonian, Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Charlemagne rule, authority or military dominance. On the year of 1109 A.D., Pope Francis the third initiated a war planning strategy for the take over of possible undiscovered territories north and west of Spain and Portugal. King Norman of France was in power during the sixth decade of the twelfth century. He ruled the Franks, Worms, Vikings, Saxons, and the Muscovites. He led massive fleets of ships filled with large and technologically advanced army battalions. After these armies landed and docked their ships on the Island of Brittany in 1066, the inhabitants of Brittany were easily suppressed, captured, slaughtered and forced out of their dwellings, communities, and places of Pagan worship. It was then, that the Franks built extremely large castles and defense lines against any possible attacks by the British. Since the British were defenseless and completely helpless with their backs against the wall, they had to completely give up on any hopes of redeeming their people against the mighty power of King Norman and his superior military advantage over them. The British were not given any resources to build houses, any type of dwelling, livestock, farming tools, seed for farming, or any food planted, farmed and cultivated by the Franks. Londinium was established as the central commerce center and only to be for the profit and to the benefit of the Franks. The British did not have doctors, medicine, farms, food, tools and many Brits did not have enough resources or materials to make clothing since the Franks had total control of the cotton farms, sheep farms and farms that produce plants sometimes used for clothing. Many Brits had to live out their lives without shoes and adequate clothing while enduring continual starvation, malnutrition, and constant exposure to many types of diseases to include: (1); Malaria, (2); Typhoid, (3); Chromes, (4); Shingles, (5); Chicken Pox, (6); Mumps, (7); Measles, and (9); Influenza. Over seventy per cent of native the native British people died due to the oppression and dominance of King Norman and the military conquests that took place during the mid-twelfth century.
